My fiancee and I considering relocating about 45 minutes south of where we live now. This will allow her to start her private practice in the same area she went to school and she already has a ton of contacts in the area for referrals, etc. That is the upside.

The major downside is that we currently live about 5 minutes from my office. Part of my plan involves staying at my firm for the next couple of years (possibly longer if I'm offered partnership). If we move, I'd be commuting 45-60 minutes each way everyday. I will probably be able to work from home 1 day a week, but I'll still be logging a lot of miles.

I thought this was a huge inconvenience, but after talking to some friends, it appears many people drive 45 minutes each way to work. That was surprising.

How far do you commute each day?
